» Watch video: Far Far West: Early Access Launch Trailer
This western shooter storms the Steam charts out of nowhere and delights players.
A new co-op shooter is conquering the Steam bestseller charts and causing excitement in the community. The game is called Far Far West and has become a real surprise hit since its launch in Early Access. Over 19,000 players have already left a review, and the overall rating is “extremely positive” – a dream start for every new title on the platform (watch on Steam).
Far Far West is storming the Steam charts
In Far Far West you join a team of up to four players and take on the role of robo-cowboys. The gameplay is as simple as it is captivating: you accept orders from the sheriff, hunt down desired targets, defeat hordes of monsters and collect the reward at the end.
Behind the success is the indie studio Evil Raptor, a small team of just eight developers. They consciously decided to launch in Early Access in order to further develop Far Far West together with the feedback from the community.
This approach, combined with a fair price of around 18 euros at the start, seems to be extremely well received by players and lowers the hurdle of giving the title a chance.
The success of the game is no coincidence, because it hits the nerve of the times. The genre of co-op shooters, in which players fight together against computer-controlled opponents, has experienced a real boom since Helldivers 2. Far Far West serves this trend perfectly with its uncomplicated and action-packed gameplay and offers a new, exciting alternative in a western setting.
This is what Steam players say about Far Far West
In the Steam reviews, players agree: Above all high fun factor in co-opthe smooth gameplay and the creative mix of western and sci-fi are repeatedly praised.
Many users also emphasize that the game offers a lot of content and clean technical implementation for its low price – a point that is particularly positive for a small indie team in early access.
